The nearly 1 million-member DAV (Disabled American Veterans) is a non-profit 501(c)(4) charity that empowers veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. It is dedicated to a single purpose: fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served. DAV does this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; providing employment resources to veterans and their families and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life. DAV, a non-profit organization with nearly 1 million members, was founded in 1920 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1932. Learn more at www.dav.org.

Annually, DAV represents veterans and their dependents with approximately 300,000 claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense.

With our brave Americans leaving the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, DAV’s services and advocacy are as relevant and critical today as in any time in our nation’s history.
